what is the simplest way to hook a fuel press guage to the stock system? i see ppl with them but thay mostly have all kinds of fittings and such...im not tryin to be pretty i just want it to be effective..... any suggestions

 

Does it matter where you put it under the hood?

 

i dosent matter to me at all as long as i can see it and its under the hood

 

The easiest way I can think of would be to find an extra high pressure hose ( the larger hard line is the high pressure side ) at a salvage yard off another camaro. Take this hose and cut in half. You'll need to get a fitting that will allow you to mount or thread the fuel pressure gage into and also have two barbed ends to put your cut hoses onto. Then just use good quality hose clamps to secure the hoses onto the fitting. Use this to replace you exsisting high pressure hose at the driverside fender where the fuel lines connect to them and the hard lines on the engine. Hope this makes sense.

The reason for the extra high pressure line is so you won't ruin a good hose and you will have it in case you have a leak.

 

i know exactly what your talkin about....so i looked in summit they have the guages and the barbed fittings....my question is how thick is the line im gonna cut...3/8 or 1/2 in. ? i need to know this so that i know what fitting to get its hard to tell what size the hose is cause i have no idea how thick it is....by the way thanks

 

I'm not sure. I would get the extra fuel line first and cut it where you want to put the guage, then measure it, before I ordered the fitting and guage.

Check out how GKK did it in this thread:

That's how I did it. THe fuel line has the measurement on the side of the hose, I cant remember it off the top of my head. Good luck man.

 

A picture is worth a thousand words.

thats exactly how i figured it would look and fyi the hose is 3/8 thanks for the info i appreciate it... i ordered the barb fitting and the guage from summit tonight
